Transmission questions
« on: October 23, 2020, 05:49:02 pm »
Mt 4T60 transmission shifts very well, except if I'm on it hard during the 1-2 shift.  It will not shift, unless I let off the throttle a bit.  The shift cable adjustment has been exhausted, with no change.  Any ideas?

How high did you let it rev while on it hard? It's normal for it to rev higher if you're on it hard.

Actually, not redline.  Rev limiter.

Can recall if those have a governor or not but if so it can be stuck. Could have a valve sticking in the valve body. Sure you adjusted the cable the correct way?

Have you tried yelling at it?

90% sure it has a governor. Should be in the tail housing. Pull it and check/clean it good. That flammable brake cleaner works great.

Tail housing?  In English?

Over by the VSS?

Does the governor only affect first?

Yes by the VSS. It can affect all gears but problems at high RPM shifts can be it. Just think you don’t offer redline 2-3 or 3-4. Did you check the vacuum accumulator?

Watch this video. It’s painfully slow but will help.

Trying to find the governor (or at least the part #)
